Recreating a Google Maps style camera

[callumdotexe]

I am currently working on a project with a 3d map that will demonstrate our clients products. We plan to create a google maps style camera where you can click to drag to pan around the map and also zoom in and out. Just wondering how best to get the sort of functionality using Babylon JS.

Can anyone point me to similar playgrounds or suggest a good starting point?

Thanks!
